A trip to Springfield sounds like a fantastic adventure! Here's a detailed checklist for students to ensure they have everything they need for a fun and comfortable journey:

Essential Items:

1. Cell Phone Battery Backup: If you have one to use to ensure students have a portable charger or spare batteries to keep their devices charged throughout the trip.

2. Snacks: Pack a variety of healthy snacks such as granola bars, fruit, and gold fish to keep energy levels up during the trip.

3. Water Bottle: Encourage students to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.

4. Sack Lunch: Prepare a nutritious sack lunch with sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, and other favorite snacks. Avoid perishable items that require refrigeration and there will be no place to heat up food.

5. Drawstring Bag: Students can bring a drawstring bag to carry their belongings, snacks, and water bottle during the trip.

Additional Recommendations:

1. Comfortable Clothing: Dress in layers and wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for walking and exploring.

2. Sun Protection: Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats to protect against sunburn during outdoor activities.

3. Camera or Smartphone: Encourage students to bring a camera or smartphone to capture memorable moments during the trip.

4. Respectful Behavior: Remind students to be respectful of others, follow instructions from chaperones, and adhere to any rules or guidelines set for the trip.

Note:

• No Pillows or Blankets: Please remind students that pillows and blankets are not permitted on the bus to ensure there's enough space for everyone's belongings and to maintain a comfortable seating arrangement.

Event Details:

• Date and Time: Graduation will take place at 6:30 PM on the Albright Middle School field.

• Location: The ceremony will be held outdoors on the school field, providing a spacious and picturesque setting for the celebration.

Tickets:

• Family Tickets: Each graduate will receive four family tickets for their loved ones to attend the ceremony. These tickets will also serve as vouchers for one complimentary Nothing Bundt Cake per ticket holder after the ceremony.

• Bright Your Own Chair Tickets: Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs for seating during the ceremony. Each family will receive four "Bright Your Own Chair" tickets to reserve space for their chairs at the event. This ticket is not eligible for the nothing bundt cake.

Special Treats:

• Graduates' Treats: Graduates will receive special perks, including a free Kona Ice treat and one free Nothing Bundt Cake to enjoy after the ceremony, as a token of appreciation for their hard work and achievements.

If it rains we will be inside the large gym at Albright. It will also be live steamed if we are inside and outside.
